T1 Poplar , fell to ground level . Recent winds have made it lean towards neighbour`s house, with a raised root mound clearly visible at the base where it has lifted. In my opinion the risk of failure is very likely and would benefit from a speedy decision so it can be dealt with as soon as is practicable. The tree's amenity value is low as it is adjacent to a stand of much larger Poplars of which it is an offspring
